Answer:
UNDERSTAND:
- Total onions planted = 600
- Rows with equal quantity of onions: 20 rows
PLAN:
-Distribute the total quantity of onions equally to each row
-To do this, divide the total quantity of onions by the quantity of rows to get N, the quantity of onions each row
-Equation: N = 600 ÷ 20
SOLVE:
600 ÷ 20
60 ÷ 2
= 30
CHECK AND LOOK BACK :
- The inverse of division is multiplication
- To check, multiply the quanity of onions in each row by the total quantity of rows
N × 20 = 600
30 × 20 = 600
600 = 600
